Watch out! He'll report you! F*cking whiner.

*Storm Wolf* · 03-19-2009, 11:55 AM

I love the AVGN. I get quite a few laughs out of it myself. A lot of the games he plays were awesome back in the day. Haha!

I'll have to check out the nostalgic critic. Haven't seen anything by him yet.

I like some of the spin offs by other people as well.

When speaking of profanity...I'm pretty sure that's why half my 360 friends list are actually "friends" with me.....Sad I know....

Lisardo · 03-31-2009, 03:07 AM

I love that dude! His reviews are hilarious and oh so true! I esp. LOL'ed at his review of the Atari porn games on the Cinemassacre site!! His TMNT NES game review was funny too, as was his Friday the 13th one.

~~Cropsy~~ · 05-28-2009, 11:16 PM

Does anyone agree or disagree on some of the games he's trashed?

*pannoni1* · 11-06-2013, 08:02 AM

I saw the AVGN in person at a gaming con at the beginning of this year and am planning to see him again New Year's weekend. Since then, I've marathoned all of his episodes over the past month and found most of these reviews as entertaining as practical, though I would still use Game FAQ's/IGN for literal reviews. My favorite episode besides TMNT was the Tiger Electronics episode recently done. I myself had a few of these, and do agree that they were after their time, and feel like they could have come out in the '70s. Of course not everything was bad; I had the Star Wars Rebel Forces game that came with a shooter and the game was housed inside a cool Darth Vader hat; the games also were great on the go and had longer battery life than Game Boy. But the "has not aged well" remark is indeed an understatement. However, I found the most hilarious part being Tiger's R-Zone which pissed AVGN so much he had to praise the virtual boy. Let's not talk about game.com and fooling you into being Internet related. I also found the second Looney Tunes episode involving all those sequels to be hilarious. And once in awhile, the AVGN does proclaim that some games aren't exactly terrible and are still playable. Speaking of his movie, this is what he'll be reviewing:

This thread is from f*cking 2009.

Oisterboy · 11-07-2013, 10:26 AM

Well if we're posting here anyway...

I like him. I think he's funny and I like how he gets people interested in retro gaming. Actually he put the fire under my ass to get more games. I already was collecting, but his collection made me super jealous and motivated me to get it going and step it up a bit.

*Icebot* · 11-07-2013, 08:44 PM

I like AVGN. I think he's really funny when he gets angry when things don't go his way in video games.

*XERO* · 11-17-2013, 08:48 PM

So... has anyone play the AVGN Adventures video game yet?

Sh*t's friggin' hard.

*chrisdude* · 11-18-2013, 12:26 AM

One of my favorite channels. I subscribe to about 40 YouTube channels, and his is the only one I have set to ding my email when a new video is posted. Whether it's reviews, angry rants, or just 'James and Mike Play ____" (which may actually be my favorite), I just think he's an entertaining guy.

*LeotheLateBloomer* · 11-18-2013, 12:36 AM

I love James Rolfe. He always made me LOL out loud. I like him a little more than Doug Walker, even though I love him too. I love their rivalry episodes were they insult each other and duke it out. I also love their review on the Coming Out of Our Shells Tour review. These days, AVGN is busy with the movie and is now a father o_o, while NC is doing blogs on modern hit shows like Avatar, Korra, and Adventure Time. You'd think Doug would go back to watch the 2k3 cartoon or even the 2k12 one.

DarkLightDragon · 11-18-2013, 08:11 AM

He's only watching Adventure Time because that's what his fans wanted him to do. The Avatar stuff was just for the movie review and liked the series so much, he decided to do Korra (and since his brother is already a fan, he made some appearance in his vlogs).

Had people recommended 2k3 or 2012, I'm sure he would've looked into either of them too.

So...yeah, AVGN. Like his work.

*LeotheLateBloomer* · 11-18-2013, 12:13 PM

Doug's birthday was actually yesterday. He's a year younger than James.

One thing I've always liked about James over Doug is that James has always dugged deep into the development and history of a franchise like how he explored other TMNT lore outside the 87 show he fondly remembers, such as the Mirage comics. Whereas Doug was completely clueless to the mythology on his TMNT (2007) review.

*Whatswiththeheadbands?* · 11-18-2013, 01:03 PM

I like James' older stuff from 2008 the best. Although, saying that, my all time favorite video by him has to be either the Castlevania videos, or 'Plumbers don't wear ties'.

I still don't see how someone could think this was a good idea for a game

Trinxant · 11-24-2013, 04:14 PM

This guy is very funny one of the best episodes is the Virtual Boy and 32X reviews or Terminator games reviews for different consoles...

However, the last episodies are not as funny than the others.
